gtkglext @1.2.0_11 +quartz does not configure on macOS Catalina, Version 10.15.3, because 'configure: error: X development libraries not found'

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

While tying to install gtkglext +quartz I get:

checking for gdk_display_get_default in GDK library... yes
configure: GDK supports multihead
checking for gdk_x11_colormap_foreign_new... yes
checking for X... disabled
configure: error: X development libraries not found
Command failed:  cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_macports_release_tarballs_ports_devel_gtkglext/gtkglext/work/gtkglext-1.2.0" && ./configure --prefix=/opt/local --without-x
Exit code: 1

Seems this port needs a dependency to xorg-server or xorg-server-devel…

It's not looking for the server, but rather the client libraries. But it seems like the point of the quartz variant is to remove the dependency on X. Could you attach the config.log?

It seems Portfile is missing a line

configure.args-append  --with-gdktarget=quartz

And when this line is added, build fails with:

In file included from gdkglquery-quartz.c:23:
./gdkglquartz.h:5:10: fatal error: 'gdk/gdkquartz.h' file not found
#include <gdk/gdkquartz.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The C header file gdkquartz.h does not get installed:

extracting quartz to quartz.tbz.txt

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

A few more C header are needed:

gdkquartz.h -> gdk
{gdkquartzcursor.h,gdkquartzdevice-core.h,gdkquartzdevicemanager-core.h,gdkquartzdisplay.h,gdkquartzdisplaymanager.h,gdkquartzdnd.h,gdkquartzkeys.h,gdkquartzscreen.h,gdkquartzutils.h,gdkquartzvisual.h,gdkquartzwindow.h} -> gdk/quartz

Then the port built.

The missing files are available here: ​https://github.com/jdapena/gtk/tree/master/gdk/quartz.

macOS Catalina is gone (for me), so presumingly this ticket can be closed…
